Frangois,
Code Sense is just one of several things that indexing is used to
support. I recall having this conversation with you during the seed
period, off line from xcode-users. Index Templates are generically
useful for more than just Java development, they make a difference for
large C, C++ and Objective-C development projects too. Java developers
derive major benefits from using them as they eliminate a large amount
of indexing work that otherwise slows operations ... All Java projects
are large projects due to the structure of the Java class libraries.
The initial goals for Xcode development were to retain parity with
Project Builder feature-wise for Java and AppleScript and to push
forward with new features for Apple's C-family language users (C, C++,
Objective-C and Objective-C++). Improving Xcode's Java and AppleScript
support to match the C-family languages is in planning and will appear
in future releases.
best,
Godfrey

On the other hand the first topic of the Code Sense chapter is about
Index Templates which are clearly applicable mostly to java as I have
not heard of any indexing problems from ObjC users.
Too bad. As a java developer I feel like a third class citizen. It's
all late, buggy or broken (sorry that would be "not supported")

I use Xcode for java development.
I have setup the Index Templates which have helped a lot with the
serious hanging issues. Now I only have medium issues ( ~5 second
hang every-time I save). Index Templates may or may not be related
to my problem. Anyone know precisely what indexes do? I still don't.
Anyway my point is that I can't seem to get the code completion to
work as documented... I start typing a method name, when I press F5
I get a list of words used in the file, some are method names some
are not. I read in the release notes that if I want to get a the
list of symbols only I have to set
PBXCodeSenseExcludeStringsFromCodeCompletion to Yes. I have tried
that and restarted Xcode but I still get the list of words and no
symbols.
Is code completion still broken for java? That's not what the
release notes let us believe.
I see this in the release notes for 1.1...
"Code Sense is not supported for Java or CocoaJava."
It is not broken nor has it been, it is just not supported yet.
